Used as a photostabilizer in coatings and polymers, this compound helps prevent degradation caused by UV light exposure. It is particularly effective in outdoor applications where long-term resistance to sunlight is required, such as in automotive coatings and industrial finishes. Its structure allows it to absorb and dissipate UV energy, reducing the rate of polymer chain breakdown and color fading. It can also be incorporated into adhesives and sealants to enhance durability under prolonged weathering conditions.
